Morning Debriefing 9/1/11

1) Jim Gaffigan on Fallon.

2) Tonight, you can watch the 2nd to last episode of Louie’s 2nd Season (FX 10:30PM), the finale of Children’s Hospital (Adult Swim 12AM), NTSF:SD:SUV with Jeff Goldblum, Moon Bloodgood, and more (Adult Swim 12:15AM), Eddie Izzard, Tim Minchin, Chris Hardwick, Judah Friedlander, and more on the Green Room with Paul Provenza (Showtime 11PM), or just do all of that.

3) Take that overwrought procedural cop drama genre, the Taper is here (written by Sara Schaefer, starring Nick Vatterott & Nick Turner).

4) Internet King Alex Blagg explains why anyone’s comedy will never be as cool as they think it is, even if it’s funny.

5) Finally, Jeff MacKinnon’s coverage of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival comes to a close and we can stop being mad that we’re not there. Is that just us?

6) Denver comic, Deacon Gray gives a taste of what’s it like to be a Christian and a comedian, but not a Christian comedian on his new album “Revival (of the Fittest)”.

7) Puddin’-“Clean-Up”
